POLITICS NOTEBOOK
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS MORNING
> Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall wants his federal Conservative colleagues to remember the debacle of 1993 as they begin to assess what went wrong in the recent election campaign – and rebuild.
> The federal New Democrats are adjusting to life with fewer resources and a return to third-party status after more than half their caucus was lost in last week's election.
> The Liberals announced Monday that prime-minister-designate Justin Trudeau and his family won't be moving into 24 Sussex Dr. any time soon.
> A new government led by Justin Trudeau has thrust Canada into a "new era" in its relations with China and the rest of the world, Paul Martin says.
> Justin Trudeau owes his unprecedented number of seats in the West to city voters, and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson says the incoming prime minister knows it.
> Former Foreign Affairs minister John Baird has abruptly withdrawn his name from the list of possible candidates to replace Stephen Harper.
> Copyright activists say Canadians could face lawsuits, fines or worse for uploading an animated GIF of Jose Bautista's bat-flip under a new trade deal, and they're calling on the newly elected Justin Trudeau to act.
> It's the end of an era for Canada's most important diplomatic post as Gary Doer confirmed Monday that his longer-than-usual stint as ambassador to the United States is about to conclude.
TRUDEAU'S NEXT TEST: MAKE CHANGE A REALITY
Style doesn't make the man, but as Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy illustrated, it can change the morale, bring a new spirit to a country. Mr. Trudeau is no Reagan and he is no Kennedy but he has some of their charismatic attributes. If he doesn't settle for half-measures, he could bring a new spirit, Lawrence Martin writes.
WHAT EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT
Campbell Clark (Globe and Mail - subscribers): "Justin Trudeau will have to break his promises about the Senate, at least a little bit. There is not much choice, unless he wants to risk his agenda getting stuck in the Red Chamber muck."
David McLaughlin (Globe and Mail): "majority governments may provide an embarrassment of riches in forming a cabinet, but a richness of embarrassment can lie just underneath if not done right."
Gerald Caplan (Globe and Mail): "In the 78 days of electioneering prior to the federal election, our political leaders managed to find maybe 30 seconds for Israel and Palestine, and Canada's relationship to them."
Colin Robertson (Globe and Mail - subscribers): "Provinces, states and territories are often dismissed, inaccurately, as a secondary, inferior level of government. Yet it is their work that most affects the everyday life of citizens."
